How do I use Person Code to limit access to a survey?

You can a limit who is able to respond to a survey by setting a person code within a survey. Person code is simply set by setting the variable p= on the URL of a survey. So an example survey URL might be like

https://s.surveytown.com/survey/?c=200011&id=119&p=[p_value]

You substitute you own value for [p_value], so the actual link might look something like this.

https://s.surveytown.com/survey/?c=200011&id=119&p=89329304

The actual value you use after the p= does not matter. You can use the p code to match survey responses to customer ids in other systems.

SurveyTown treats the "p" variable in a couple special ways.

SurveyTown will store the value automatically with the survey response.

If you check to limit taking of surveys by person code, SurveyTown will look to see if there is a response with that personcode already attached to that survey it will block the respondent from taking the survey again.

In sum, by adding a p= variable onto the end of your survey URLs you can match your survey responses to customers and limit the ability for customers to take a survey more than one time.
